First Trailer for ‘Haunted Hotel’ from ‘Rick & Morty’ Creators Drops on Netflix

Pack your bags, horror-comedy fans, because Netflix is opening the doors to the Haunted Hotel on September 19th! The streaming giant just dropped the first trailer for this bone-chillingly hilarious series, and trust us, it’s giving haunted house vibes with a heavy dose of sarcastic sibling banter.

What Is Haunted Hotel?

Created by Rick & Morty story editor Matt Roller (Community, Krapopolis), this 10-episode, 2D-animated show blends horror, humor, and family dysfunction in all the best ways. Think mismatched ghostly roommates meet a single mom just trying to keep her hotel running without losing her mind. Oh, and did we mention her estranged brother is one of the ghosts? Classic.

Netflix teases it as “a single mother of two struggles to manage a haunted hotel with the help of her late, estranged brother, who believes the undead guests have some surprisingly solid business advice.” The premise alone is enough to make you hit that “Remind Me” button.

Who’s Behind the Screams (and the Laughs)?

Matt Roller leads the charge as series creator and executive producer. He’s joined by some heavy hitters, including Rick & Morty alums Dan Harmon and Steve Levy, plus Spider-Man: No Way Home writer Chris McKenna. Add in the Emmy-winning studio Titmouse (Big Mouth, The Legend of Vox Machina), and you’ve got a dream team ensuring that Haunted Hotel is equal parts spooky and side-splitting.

Erica Hayes, known for her work on Rick & Morty and Carol & the End of the World, serves as supervising director. Translation? This show is about to serve up top-tier visuals and razor-sharp laughs.
